NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Milberg LLP announces that class action lawsuits were filed in the
United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts on behalf
of purchasers of Abiomed, Inc. (“Abiomed”) (NASDAQ: ABMD) common stock
during the period August 5, 2011 to October 31, 2012, (the “Class
Period”).

The Complaints allege violations of the anti-fraud provisions of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against Abiomed and certain of its
officers and directors.

Specifically, the Complaints allege that positive statements Abiomed
made were materially false and misleading because the FDA frequently
warned Abiomed that marketing materials regarding the Impella 2.5
Cardiac Support System contained inappropriate off-label use claims, and
the Company did not appropriately remedy these issues, all the while
issuing positive statements about its business and the Impella 2.5
system.

On November 1, 2012, Abiomed disclosed that the United States Department
of Justice had begun an investigation into "the Company's marketing and
labeling of the Impella 2.5." In reaction to this news, Abiomed's share
price fell 31.33% to close at $13.61 on November 1, 2012.

If you purchased Abiomed shares during the Class Period, you may, no
later than January 15, 2013, request that the Court appoint you lead
plaintiff of the proposed class. A lead plaintiff is a class member that
represents other class members in directing the litigation. Your share
in any recovery will not be affected by serving as a lead plaintiff,
however, lead plaintiffs make important decisions that could affect the
overall recovery for class members. You do not need to be a lead
plaintiff to recover. You may retain Milberg LLP, or other attorneys,
for this action, but do not need to retain counsel to recover. If this
action is certified as a class action, class members will be
automatically represented by Court-appointed counsel. The complaint in
this action was not filed by Milberg.
